“Being part of the Women in Carwash Conference reinforced just how powerful community is. I’m grateful for the knowledge, encouragement, and shared experiences that left me inspired and proud to be part of such a passionate industry.”
— Tamara Bell, District Manager, ZIPS Car Wash
ZIPS Car Wash was proud to have team members from both field leadership and corporate operations attend the 2026 Women in Carwash Conference, an event dedicated to supporting and advancing women across the car wash industry.
District Managers Alexis Rodriguez and Tamara Bell represented ZIPS at this year’s conference, joining professionals from across the country to connect, share experiences, and strengthen relationships within the industry. Their participation reflects ZIPS’ continued commitment to investing in the growth and development of its people at every level of the organization.
Having representation from both site leadership and corporate teams was especially meaningful. By attending events like the Women in Carwash Conference, ZIPS team members are able to bring back ideas, perspectives, and renewed energy that help strengthen operations and support teams across key markets.
Throughout the event, attendees had opportunities to engage in discussions around leadership, training, and operational excellence. Topics ranged from team development and customer experience to strategies for expanding fleet partnerships and fostering stronger collaboration across organizations. Just as important, the conference created space for personal reflection and professional motivation—helping attendees better understand their strengths and the work that drives them.
Alexis Rodriguez, District Manager, reflected on the experience:
“The Women in Carwash convention was an invaluable experience focused on industry innovation and leadership strategies that I’m excited to bring back to my role and our team. I’m deeply grateful to ZIPS for investing in my professional development.”
Beyond the sessions themselves, one of the most valuable aspects of the conference was the sense of community. Connecting with peers, sharing challenges and successes, and learning from others in the industry reinforces the collaborative spirit that helps move the car wash industry forward.
ZIPS Car Wash remains committed to supporting professional development opportunities that empower team members, strengthen leadership capabilities, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. The company looks forward to continuing its involvement in industry events that celebrate growth, leadership, and the people who make the business thrive.
